5Promise of Common CoreCCGPS define the knowledge and skills students should master during their K-12 education so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs.The standards:Are aligned with college and work expectationsAre clear, understandable, and consistentInclude rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher-order skillsBuild upon strengths and lessons of current state standardsAre informed by other top performing countries so that all students are prepared to succeed in a global economy and society; andAre evidence-based

Establish a situation and introduce a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.a. Orient the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.a. Engage and orient the reader by establishing a context and point of view and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally and logically.a. Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation, establishing one or multiple point(s) of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters; create a smooth progression of experiences or events.a. Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation and its significance, establishing one or multiple point(s) of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters; create a smooth progression of experiences or events.

15Standards of Mathematical PracticeMake sense of problems and persevere in solving themReason abstractly and quantitativelyConstruct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of othersModel with mathematicsUse appropriate tools strategicallyAttend to precisionLook for and make use of structureLook for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
